This is a very good biscotti recipe. I made it with olive oil instead of butter, as I've been doing in all my biscotti lately. I just really like the taste better than butter, and I highly recommend trying it out. I also used dried figs instead of raisins, which were a nice change of pace.
This is consistently one of the best biscotti recipes I have-I substitute dried cranberries & pecans and add a little orange rind (eliminate the cinnamon); you can use other substitutions as well. It's one of my favorite 5 biscotti recipes. Everyone loves it.
Great recipe. I use my food processor to coarsely grind the raisins and nuts. I also cooked them a little bit longer so they would be dry and crispy. I had no trouble cutting them with the nuts and raisins chopped fine and always use a serrated knife or an electric knife works well also.
Very easy to make. Good flavor and easy to tweak recipe. I flatten mine a little more to make longer biscotti (but not too flat usually about 3/4"). I usually use chopped nuts but have used whole almonds and it came out good too. I love cinnamon so usually double (or even triple) the cinnamon. I have used walnuts pecans and almonds successfully. I have also made them plain and they are quite good too. This recipe doesn't mind a little variation.
I've made this recipe several times and it has always worked well. I agree the chunks make it hard to slice so I chop walnuts extra fine and use currants instead of raisins and they have a much finer texture.
After eating phenomenal biscotti in Port Townsend WA I wanted to try to make something similar at home. I modified this recipe by adding 2 tsp of orange zest and substituting chocolate chips for the raisins. They turned out perfect and were a huge hit with friends and family. Thank you!
Cinnimon lovers get your fix here. For an added cinnimon boost I drizzled cinnimon sugar over the top before baking. I also added mini chocolate chips. Certainly one of my top five biscotti recipes.
Very good. I substituted almond extract for the vanilla and it added a really nice flavor.
I made these for my co-workers and they loved them! Everyone kept asking for the recipe. I made a few changes. I used 2 tsp of cinnamin and added 1/2 cup of cranberries. Excellent recipe and VERY EASY
I found difficulties when cutting those biscotti.. most of them were broken... too much rasins and walnuts were used as well..
